Sell high with FLYP, then use your extra equity to renovate your new address before you even move in.
Most people leave money on both ends of a move
When you sell a home and buy a new one, there are two moments where most homeowners lose:
- Selling as-is — leaving $80K–$200K of renovation upside on the table
- Moving into a fixer — living through renovations for months, paying retail contractor prices, managing the whole project yourself
The FLYP Double Win
Here's how it works:
Step 1: FLYP your current home. We fund 100% of the renovation on your current property — kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, curb appeal, even ADUs. You stay on title. Your home hits the market at its peak renovated value. Step 2: Use the extra equity to renovate your next home. That $100K–$200K in additional equity you just unlocked? Use it to have FLYP renovate your new address — before you move in, after you close, or on your timeline.Instead of selling low and buying a fixer you'll spend years updating, you sell high and move into a home that's already exactly what you want.
Real numbers: How the Double Win plays out
Let's say you own a 1990s home in Seattle currently worth $720K as-is.
Without FLYP:- Sell as-is: $720K
- After closing costs and agent fees: ~$640K
- Buy a new home for $650K that needs $80K in work
- Spend $80K out of pocket on renovations over the next year
- Net position: You're $80K lighter and living in construction
- FLYP renovates your current home (cost: ~$85K, paid by FLYP)
- Sell renovated: $958K
- After closing costs, FLYP charge, and agent fees: ~$780K
- That's $140K more in your pocket
- Use $60K of that to have FLYP renovate your new home before you move in
- Net position: You're $80K ahead and moved into a finished home
Why this works so well
The economics are simple: pre-sale renovations have a higher ROI than post-purchase renovations.
When you renovate before selling, you're leveraging the appraiser's math. A $25K kitchen remodel adds $50K–$70K in appraised value because the appraiser compares your home to recently sold renovated comps — not to what you spent.
When you renovate after buying, you're spending retail dollars for personal comfort. The ROI is lower because you're not capturing it in a sale price.
FLYP lets you capture the high-ROI renovation on the way out and get below-market renovation pricing on the way in — because we're doing both projects with the same contractor network.
The HELOC alternative
Not ready to sell? You can still leverage FLYP's renovation expertise.
If you have equity in your current home, you can take out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) and hire FLYP to manage the renovation. You get our vetted contractors, our project management, our scope expertise — without selling.
This works well for homeowners who:- Love their current home but it needs updating
- Want to increase their home's value for a future sale
- Want to add an ADU or DADU for rental income
- Have 20%+ equity and can qualify for a HELOC
Who should consider the Double Win?
This strategy is ideal for:
- Move-up buyers — selling a starter home to buy something bigger
- Downsizers — selling the family home and want maximum equity for the next chapter
- Relocators — moving cities and want both transactions optimized
- Investors — selling one property and renovating another in the portfolio
